<span lang="EN-US">Oops, it’s
been too long again since I posted. Well, changing one second job that totally
sucked for a better one has been occupying me. So I also didn’t pick up much
trash, which is all the better since I still hope to sell out, get space and
then start all over again but more organized. Although I sold some stuff on
line, most went out at the markets. Let’s have a look at what I lost in the
past months, at least the things that were photographed but were unsuccessful on line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So here it
comes. My neighbour Freek picked up these three paintings with fantasy creatures. So far I sold all the
paintings he brought me on line. Not this time. I see my first listing dates of
October 2016. I gave up earlier this year but they had become hidden behind a pile
of stuff, so I couldn't bring them out. Digging through it all season that morning I finally got to them and
said: Yes, this is your day! Well, starting off with a light drizzle they had
to stay in the car boot and I was downed a bit. But it cleared up quickly, then
towards the end of the day a young woman walked off with all three. Passing by
a short while later with family I heard her say: Look, this where I got them! I
felt so chuffed and my friend was shining with me. She liked them.</div>

yesterday we were back at the mall. Not fantastic, but at least I got rid of
this big vase that was taking up space in the bags. Altogether there is quite a
large open space in my little storage now, so the rest of the day I will spend
filling that with things that are now still crowding my living space. Feeling
good!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Well you
must think I’m a terrible blogger! It’s been months again. Now I’ve got some
time left as my friend canceled our market plans for today. With two boys
moving out she’s got other things on her mind. I wonder what her house is going to look like when they take out all the 'trash' she's collected for them over the years. I hope to clear out a bit more too. Sales are a bit slow as I've been lazy with listing, but I haul in selectively now and less than goes out. </span></div>

been away for so long. The thing is I took on a second part time job in
October. Even though it’s only eight hours a week - totaling my hours to some
maximum of 26 - it sucks al lot of my energy. Sales of rescued goods continue,
but at a much slower space. I also don’t pick up a lot because I don’t feel
like finding storage place for new things right now. Then winter doesn’t help
to take photo’s outdoors and list. But I’m still selling from stock, I have
free afternoons, I’m starting to get used of my schedule, and I should finally
start covering 2017!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shipped out this small set of camping crockery. The company that makes this
high quality unbreakable plastic still exists, but by the colour I judged it
Seventies anyway. I’m not a fan of plastic but it made me nostalgic of camping

cookers? I considered trying it (or perhaps did I dig up the blue and pink with

interested read this post by Gregg Koep at <a href="http://notbuyinganything.blogspot.nl/2017/02/diy-thermal-cooker.html">Not

<span lang="EN-US">Building a
grow house. It was a struggle with loads of tiny little screws which took me
over two months. Though it was the Man’s wish to have the thing in my garden, I
ended up constructing it because he really couldn’t figure it out. As I'm not in favour of buying new things I was always
happy to grow my bell peppers and green beans out in the open and in reused planters but we’ll see
later on if the investment was worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

around twelve hours a week paid work for the first time in three years. I still
depend partly on government aid, but it’s a start. And quite a change! I was
pretty exhausted for at least two months but I’m finally getting used to it
now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The green
beans from seeds of my own harvest from last year are doing great. Though sowed
just four weeks ago they are shooting up higher already then ever outdoors. No
flowers here yet but as for the tomatoes, here’s to hoping the warmth in the
house will make up for the shorter day light and I’ll update soon with the results.</div>

My only photo is of this H&M vest that I decided not to list after all.<br />

An analog Soehnle scale. I thought they were almost obsolete and only took it for the markets. Then found the exact same model is still available retail, though inexpensive. Listed and succeeded. Not everyone wants things with batteries that can go flat.<br />

The expat I spoke about in a previous post also left me a small collection of 1980-s comics. I got silly bids from young kids, but expected that and paid no attention. In the end someone serious wanted the whole lot and I made him a fair price for that.<br />
<br />

I forgot if Zadie was in his lot as well, or in the bag next to the board games. Anyway she remained unhandled for a while because the title wasn't in the database of the site where I have my book account. On cold wet days last winter I just sat and scanned piles of such books, trying to get some business in a period where I couldn't do any photography. This was one of the successes that sold within two weeks.<br />

This marble board was near new too, but it had a blob of dried out paint on it that had to be scraped off, which left a matt place. As they are popular to roll out cake toppings I was afraid it might not go, but it was bought to make a memorial tablet so it didn't matter.<br />
<br />
That's it, but not all. I found some items I forgot about that sold on the last markets last year to fill up the post.<br />

I hope I packed wisely. I opted for a load of shoes, some clothing and other fairly regular stuff, as last year, on the early markets the Moroccans just bought about anything cheap to bring home to their families. Later on we relied on the Dutch who are more picky and looking for special stuff. I'm leaving that on line for the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This antique door window is another one of my favourites. This size they were often in double doors dividing front and back rooms. Those were then removed when people wanted more open space. I sold it for less than what they go for, but it had paint stains and was framed in a peculiar way. Can you see it? It's curtain rails. As I couldn't see the state of the lead underneath I took the first bid that was reasonable. Then the woman almost came running for it and it made me think... Regardless it was a good amount of money for me.<br />

IKEA Trissa boxes are apparently sought after by vinyl collectors. I picked it up with toys in it which attracted my attention first. I sold one plastic truck at a market, donated the rest then found out the box was the most valuable thing of the complete haul.<br />

This is an IKEA PS collection vase. I sold it for my friend. She brought it to a market and I had to sit with the thing between my legs in the car. Told her I wouldn't do that again and to leave it in my house. Got twice what she had asked.<br />

It finally convinced her to bring me more stuff after the end of market season. Now she claims I made a face when she produced these fish shaped planks. Well I thought I'll list the weird things first, and first they went and the money I got stunned both of us. The lady was thrilled and was recently back at my door for a vintage suitcase.<br />

A Johnson Blues King mouth organ. From an expat who probably went home or moved on. He left loads of stuff in a box labeled 'free stuff all working'. Mostly tools that I kept for myself.

A haggler of a buyer just ruined my day who wanted a load of things for next to nothing. Sorry but I don't go cheaper on cheap and you can go to hell with your charity bbq-party. I am my own charity and I really want to sell to people who want something for themselves and keep it for a while. So I better sit down and write another post about such sales that made me feel good. I just don't feel like saying a lot. Well you can just look at the pictures and enjoy.</div>

IKEA Hutten wine bottle racks. I had the one for years, but thought it was useless listing it knowing what they cost in the shop. The set was gone within a few days. Difference in height probably due to slight changes in design.<br />

I found a large amount of IKEA Rondo crockery a long time before I finally listed it last year because I thought to replace my mismatch with it. I ended up not using it because I kept reaching for the few old things that I held on to for everyday use.</div>

For some reason I let the big heavy plates take place in my cupboard for another four months. Then when I finally listed them they were sold in a day. I'd love to find more of this as the money was great too. IKEA doesn't sell this anymore but the line is still very sought-after.<br />

A totally busted 1975 Peugeot GL 10 moped. Dragged home by the Man. Lots of hassle with high bidders who didn't read my ad carefully. Yes they are worth a lot when in working or fixable condition.

No problems selling perfectly usable garden furniture. This wooden chair just had a paint stain on it and it went out after ten days. Though I've currently stopped taking regular chairs in due to lack of storage space I never leave a fold up.<br />

I sold the antique garden <a href="http://trashcollector.blogspot.nl/2016/02/mystery-item-cast-iron-foot.html" target="_blank">umbrella foot</a>, once I was sure it was just that and listed it as such. And the time, May, was right for it as well. The lady announced that she would come alone and wasn´t extremely strong. So I managed to shove it in a blue Ikea bag, then together holding one handle each we managed to drag the heavy thing to her car and lift it in. It all lasted just a couple of minutes but for some reason I so enjoyed ´working´ with her. She was nice and it still makes me smile today.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">I passed a spot that I only do when I'm kind of eager to find new stuff. I saw a large Ikea blue bag with books, mainly English titles and a large box with board games. I had to make a choice, only one could come with me. I decided on the books because foreign titles mean less competition and I had no experience with selling games. After dragging the load home I was too tired to go back. However I tried my luck the next day and the box was still there!</span></div>

These are all things I found in the vicinity of my home. Following my administration shown here more or less in order of sales date, regardless of value or interest. So this post will contain some duller and some nicer objects.<br />

Simple handmade coat rack. Picked up for a few coins. Fine with me, an earlier potential buyer wanted me to unscrew the hooks and ship them. No thanks!<br />

finally sold for peanuts, but I was still glad I rescued the thing. Other

<span lang="EN-US">April last
year I found two trash bags across the street that contained soaking wet
clothing. I thought it was from standing untied right there in the rain and
threw them in the corner of my shower. The next day it turned out to be a near
disaster. The bags must have been outdoors in the rain for weeks or even
months. It all smelled mouldy. I had running stains on light coloured pieces
from darker pieces. I had black weather stains. I had holes. I had totally worn
out shoes. I had one single shoe. I had one nice pair of shoes equally ruined
by colour stains. All went in the one empty bag and straight back to trash. But
this time inside the dumpster. Not worth looking at for anybody and sorry for
not recycling it. It was too much and too mucky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I washed
the rest. I had minor mildew stains and even… slug or snail tracks! This all
washed away. Then I filled a plastic tote bag with basics like T-shirts and
tank tops for free pick-up center. I
brought four slightly more attractive cotton jersey tops to a market and sold
one. I donated the rest the next day. There was a one piece XL swimming suit
that sold quickly at the market.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Was it all
worth the trouble? Well, I do still think so. I got some nice stuff in exchange
for my donations. And I still have four black blouses to be listed. I had to
rewash them because the slime didn’t come out the first time and I just did that recently. A black jacket
suit style that I kept for myself. And I must have a black dress somewhere that
I also want to wash again and may be ok to take to a market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Claudia Sträter velvet skirt that I didn’t think much off, but the fabric must
have been great quality if it survived without any stains or damage. As said in
the last post, I learned to hold on to clothing with big brand labels. Even if it takes a

By Sergio Rossi! These are very expensive. Months later from the exact same spot, same owner? But I think they differed a size. However they looked a bit worn, and the pointed model is dated.

I forgot about this one in my last post. It's also from the 2015 haul. I listed it but the brand (Loila USA) is unknown here and though it looked nice it was kind of a cheap make. When it didn't sell in the first free listing period I dropped it off at pick-up center.</div>

sale was quite a surprise. From my Fall 2015 lot of clothing these two mass

And last but not least: a leather belt by Unleaded that I kept for myself!<br />
<br />
The next lot is from two small plastic bags I found late 2015, but didn't start listing untill early 2016. They were in the rain and knotted by the handles somewhere along my route home. I could see there was fabric inside and loaded them up without further inspection. At home I found the wetness wasn't too bad and everything was very fashionable and brandnew or otherwise in great condition.<br />

Sometimes
things just happen in the right order. Late December 2015 I spotted a huge shiny
box with colourful pan pictures on it across the street. Usually such new
product containers just hold plastic and other packaging. I was actually hoping
for bubble wrap but found the complete old set of pans of the buyers.</div>

The Man
brought this home for me around the millennium change, after I had announced
that I was going to work less and craft more. Found somewhere along his route
to a shop. I remember seeing the square fold-out boxes in the Seventies, but we
never had one at home. I think my mom hated them. I have to say I agree, but
those were possibly copies and this one is almost antique and I did like the
legs. They are in the same style as my <a href="http://trashcollector.blogspot.nl/2014/07/my-antique-dresser-and-ugly-chest-of.html" target="_blank">vintage dresser</a>.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">I found
this sled last year January at a fair distance from the house, so it was a bit
of a hassle getting it home on my bike, but I managed and I thought it was a
pretty good pick. But then the thing just didn’t sell. It wasn’t snowing or
freezing here, but wasn’t anybody planning on a skiing holiday abroad anymore?
I looked for my competition and found lots of sleds for sale, but all in rural
areas, not around Amsterdam.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I waited
for October to relist it and then it went quickly. Not the head prize of course
but I was glad it was out. And I think it <i>was</i>
for a skiing holiday. Right now Holland is slowly freezing over for the first
time in years and shallow waters have thick enough ice already. I wonder if I
should have postponed my relisting even longer to get more out of it, but I don’t regret my sale; the weather is
unpredictable after all. Now if we can get some snow I like the thought that
the child it was bought for can play with the sled at home too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about it, but none came to a sale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

celebrated in the traditional way, on our national gift-giving day December 5 the
family sits in a circle around the packets presented in a large container and a
basket is perfect for that. I guess it worked as I sold it a week later, just days
before the party.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Broekman, and found he was a Dutch painter who lived from 1874 to 1946 and was himself a
trader as well. I read he often signed work of others, so we still don’t know
if this was his own, but I found a comparable still live with poppy’s listed
currently at EUR 300! But that is neatly framed and in good condition. And there
are others around EUR 50. Mine certainly needed work and I’m just glad it ended
in the right hands and is hopefully now restored in full glory and somewhere

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I had a
last minute request to make Christmas bouquets with my group at the mental
health centre. As there wasn’t much time for shopping I collected all the smaller old
once found <a href="http://trashcollector.blogspot.nl/2008/04/planters-and-plant-boxes.html" target="_blank">flower and plant pots</a> from my yard that had landed there over the
years. I sprayed silver paint over the ugly plastic ones. I had a bag full of
oasis from free pick-up centre and had to buy only two extra blocks. The
organization promised to provide branches and decorations.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Then I
quickly went to work to make an example, but not having the branches at hand I
just cut off fresh shoots from my curb found trees in pots from last year.
Unfortunately they turned a bit brown over summer, but the new growth was
perfect for my goal. As you can see I used an old teapot as a container.</span></div>

holly and finer branches. They loved my second hand decorations too!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I’m kind of
glad the market season will end soon. Getting tired of the bags in my room, the
repacking and resorting. Having to wonder what to bring next is actually a good
thing. It means the mountain of junk is shrinking. I’m not sad taking some more
expensive stuff now and get only half the money if it didn’t do anything on
line. Getting fives or tens instead of ones or twos out of a sale saves the
days results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This mirror
isn’t the best but it came with the Edwin name sign and it was a fairly long
walk home. It went to a Moroccan guy who probably brought it to family in the
home country. He wanted it for next to
nothing but I thought of my effort and finally got the price that satisfied me.
Did you notice my photography trick here? It was with one mirror before this
one I finally got smart and shot it facing the sky to avoid reflections of junk
in my yard.</div>

A souvenir bottle opener from Disney World. Out of the emigrant’s kitchen drawer. Obviously he visited the US before moving over definitively.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">But this
necklace of semiprecious stones saved the day. I had intended to list it on
Etsy but never did. It’s a kind of strange random collection of beads on a
string and I doubted if anyone would fall fort it. It was my most valuable
item, a man bought it for his son who was going to redo it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Mainly
thanks to this I came home with a little extra money in my pocket. Still we
decided we like this place. We love the view. The man behind it is very nice.
He gave all vendors a little discount for the lack of visitors. We don’t have
to book in advance. So if it rains we just don’t go. There was a dj who played
nice old music. </span></div>

It’s a shorter ride than the one we couldn’t book for and we’ve had very bad days there as well. I will also not miss the sand and uneven display surface of that place. This photo is from years ago and the water in the background has been turned to land and is now a building site.</div>

If it's up to me we don't go back here. The mall though is the best place so far. More about that soon.</div>

It was a lovely half cloudy day so we were on the rooftop and it brought in even bigger crowds.<br />
<br />
Here are some unsuccessfully listed curb finds that I got rid off.<br />

If I remember well this handbag came from the same haul. Brand new just not too attractive.<br />

Last but not least a set of handmade Mediterranean candlesticks. I'm not sure about the origins but I'm thinking Greece. Not my taste but I do like the little deer and bird. Brought home by the Man in December.<br />
<br />
My focus is totally on the outdoor sales now. I love to see the stuff going and hope to sell out this summer, so I can start listing new things in September. We already did two more car boot sales, hope to come back on it soon.Le-Chathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14799726291277538990noreply@blogger.com1
